^ (*kath) as a continuation of my last week's threads, i m informing the forum public that i managed to finish some pretty demanding cases (read: financial crime) while being almost completely drunk and on the verge of blacking out
again i started thinking of a gif i should post to complement this, but then realized how brutally fucking sad the appearance of such thoughts in my subconscious alone is

what do you think is the wisest strategy/way of getting my mom to talk to me again? obviously, assuming i somehow, magically, reach the state of mind that enables me to decide not to buy alcohol whenever i think i need it?
well the obvious answer is to show that you are serious about changing
if u start putting effort in it for some time and she sees it, then u can try talking to your mom
obviously it's not realistic that you will cut drinking cold turkey, so find a better way of hiding it because if you screw up again there will be no trust left

Yeah my accountant is trying to pull me into some financial crime and I'm attempting to distance myself but she says "I'm on vacation."

do you think it's possible to soften her if i spend these next 15 days behaving completely differently (not just talking about not drinking, but about acting like a fucking adult and a 1/2 participant of our household)?

the problem is i did this 10+ times by now (and this is my estimate, so, considering how delusional we are about ourselves, it's probably the 50th time to her)

dude idk how your relationship is, but it's probably unlikely because as you said you've been repeating this behavior for years now
you gotta show some long term commitment to change

yeah, that's how it is. it's not that i got drunk twice in may so she is now nonsensically freaking out over nothing. it's much worse than that, plus the context (my reply to dolly). that's why i feel this time it's different and i/we won't just go on like nothing happened within a week.

If you tone things down for a bit then she prob wouldn't kick you out

you can’t continue like this and rationalize any of it

Blacked out from vodka and slept through the day. Legit thought this just a nightmare for 10 minutes. I cant believe this is real.

The weekend gives me hope that maybe there is a chance i soften her if i behave perfectly these 2 weeks and then beg her to forgive me, just with at least some minor credit this time
